# Batch Close

Under Batch Close, you can view present and past booking periods, export said periods, among more.

### What is a Batch Close?

The Batch Close, or daily closing is executed once, each day, on every terminal, that is connected to your Saferpay account. Per default, this happens automatically at 10pm CET/CEST. During this process, all transactions that have passed through the capture, or booking, are filed with the payment method processor, in order to initiate the cash flow.

## Overview <a href="#overview" id="overview"></a>

The overview shows a list of all your booking periods, their opening and closing date, the number of transactions filed, as well as the respective Saferpay terminal.

## Triggering the Batch&#x20;

### Via API

If desired, the Batch Close also be triggered via the Saferpay API. The request necessary for this is called [Batch Close](http://saferpay.github.io/jsonapi/index.html#ChapterBatch).

{% hint style="warning" %}
Before you can use the API, you need to disable the daily closing in the Saferpay Backoffice via [Settings => Terminals](/home/interfaces/backoffice/settings.md#payment-means-terminals) for the respective terminal. Closing should be carried out only once a day.
{% endhint %}

### Via the Backoffice
